Alabama met Georgia in the 2017 championship, winning in overtime.

The Crimson Tide are 8-6 against the spread entering the title game. The program is making its sixth championship appearance over the last seven years.

The defense, in particular, is heating up at the right time. Since losing to Texas A&M on Oct. 9, the unit has allowed 24 points or fewer in 6-of-7.

Quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young was aided by the run game Saturday, which piled up more than 200 yards on the Bearcats.

Georgia is the top team in our own Collin Wilson's Power Ratings; Alabama is No. 2.

Nick Saban got the better of Kirby Smart a few weeks ago, dishing the Bulldogs their first loss of the season in a 41-24 SEC title game rout.

Alabama closed as a six-point underdog in that one, the total at 48.

The College Football Playoff National Championship game will take place on Monday, Jan. 10 at 8 p.m. ET.
